John Allen

John was born in 1787 in Prestwich.¹

Birth Notes

  Aged 84 in 1871, born Prestwich
  
  Possibly born at nearby Hopwood where children were born

John is no longer alive.

General Notes
- John was a weaver when he married Mary.
  
  Alice (1818-1819) is the only child (death) record of parents John and Mary Allen following their marriage. It shows John a Tapemaker at Collyhurst, so this is probably another family.
  
  There are Martha and David Allen, children of John a weaver and Mary of Hopwood baptised at Prestwich in 1817 and 1820 but this family also had Richard of Prestwich in May 1815 (before the 1816 marriage) so this may also be another family, or possibly Richard was illegitimate or from another family. There are no Prestwich baptisms before Richard.
  
  In 1841, John a cotton weaver and Mary (both 50) were at Back York Street, Heywood, Bury with David (20) and Arthur (15).
  
  In 1871, Hohn Allen (84, Wid) was livging with his son David Allen, wife Ann (both 50) and family at Newton

  From 1817 to 1826 his occupation was Weaver in Middleton.
